Far-right Congressman Paul Gosar of Arizona isn't deterred by violence. He's frequently defended the pro-Trump insurrectionists who stormed the United States Capitol in order to overthrow the peaceful transfer of power. "Stop the Steal" organizer Ali Alexander even credited Gosar with helping plan the rally that devolved into the Capitol siege.

On Monday, Gosar tweeted a bizarre anime video of him and other members of his caucus battling President Joe Biden and firebrand progressive Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, colloquially known as "AOC." The video also favorably painted border patrol officials rounding up refugees at the border.


Watch below.

Captioning the video with "Any anime fans out there?", Gosar tweeted an edited version opening sequence of the Japanese anime Attack on Titan, featuring him and other far-right representatives like Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia and Lauren Boebert of Colorado.

Just before the one minute mark, a giant with Ocasio-Cortez's faced superimposed on it is struck a death blow by Gosar. It later shows another character launching toward a giant photo of President Biden, swords drawn. It concludes with pictures of former President Trump and Congressman Matt Gaetz of Florida, both of whom are under criminal investigation.

People were astonished by the unhinged video.




Fans of Attack on Titan were particularly miffed.



Gosar has disabled comments on the video.

Hillary Clinton's 2016 Speech Predicting How Trump Would Behave As President Just Resurfaced—And Wow

People can't help but nod their heads after one of former Secretary of State and then-presidential candidate Hillary Clinton's speeches from 2016 warning about how Donald Trump would act if elected president resurfaced and proved more relevant than ever.

The footage resurfaced as public sentiment has soured on the economy; recent surveys show that roughly two-thirds of Americans disapprove of Trump's economic stewardship, while a majority say their personal financial situation is deteriorating.

James Talarico Epically Blasts Trump And Senate Opponent Over What It Means To Be A 'Real Man'

Texas Senate candidate James Talarico criticized his opponent in November's election, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, as well as President Donald Trump in a speech about what it means to be a "real man" after facing regular attacks on his masculinity.

Trump has described Talarico as “a weird—a weird—candidate,” a line that was quickly incorporated into an advertisement from Paxton, who argued that that Talarico is unfit to represent Texans partly because of his supposed veganism. Members of the right-wing have followed suit and described Talarico as an “effeminate, estrogenetic, catty, and totally embarrassing” candidate.

Jennifer Aniston And Lisa Kudrow's Idea For A 'Friends' Spinoff Is Going Viral For All The Wrong Reasons

For decades, critics have argued that Friends benefited from a television landscape that often overlooked Black-led sitcoms telling similar stories. So when Jennifer Aniston and Lisa Kudrow recently floated the idea of a Friends spinoff called Girlfriends, many viewers saw it as yet another example of Black television history being left out of the conversation.

During Variety's Actors on Actors, Aniston and Kudrow discussed what a potential Friends revival could look like more than 20 years after the sitcom ended its original run.
